CHeck your *99SE.INI, *99SE.DFT, *99SE.RCS, and *99SE.* files in the
\WINDOWS directory.
My guess is one of them didn't get written correctly or got deleted. Since
99Se uses different files from 98 this would explain the difference. I once
reinstalled Protel only to realise that the problem was due to an INI file
problem. At least they are all pretty much SOMETHING99SE.XXX so a search
for *99se.* will turn up which exist and you can compare to a working
machine.

Subject: [PEDA] Weird Problems with Protel -!!!
I have had some unusual problems with Protel before but this one takes the
cake. I open a schematic from our server directory, Protel 99SE sp6 tells
me
that the schematic is an unknown file type....
First thing I thought... oh yea... must be a corrupt file... So I open
Protel 98 and the file opens just fine.... hmmm
Go back to 99SE SP6 and yup... it still doesn't open the file.... hmmmm
Okay... check the setup of the program.... Lo and behold.... the Schematic
Servers are not installed.... well they were Last night when I logged
off...
Hmmm... Check licenses.... No license for schematic in the window... what's
up with that? You think it decided to drop them due to a conflict?
We have about 8 licenses here...

P.S. I called Altium(Protel) and tried to get a Tech Support person to help
me... all I got was a recording... and they will get to my message
eventually...
